You will have to purchase plain wood and whitewash it
This is not hard for you to do. It is also called pickling. Unfinished wood can be painted with white primer and then quickly rubbed with a rag to remove some of the paint so some of the wood will show. You should experiment with a test piece to determine just how much to remove. When it has dried just finish with either a oil or water bass varnish.
Maybe at a craft shop but you can whitewash a piece ofwood yourself and then have the know-how to use the skill in the future: https://www.wikihow.com/Whitewash-Furniture Good luck!
Try white washing it yourself... use 1 part white (or any color, like grey) to 5 parts water. Brush on, wipe off with a rag, and repeat until you get the look you want. When you finish your project... use a clear sealer.
thank you, will try it
